Planning your presentation (2): Please answer the following questions
Beginning:
How will you introduce the topic? the presentation’s purpose? the outline of what follows?
I will first go through my website so people can see how I organized it and then describe what my topic is about.
Middle:
What big ideas will you share? Which genres or other activities will you use? In what order? How will you connect them for your audience?
I will share the most popular athletes and how they were supposed to be these great role models but in reality they have cheated.
End:
With what ideas/feelings/questions do you want to leave your audience? How might you do this?
See if anyone has any questions about my information and then try to make it clear on how each person has cheated.
Implementing your presentation: Tips for presenters
Begin with what your audience knows
o You’re an expert on your topic, but we aren’t—what could you use at the beginning of your project as a “hook” to draw us in?
Emphasize throughout the BIG IDEAS you want your audience to come away with
o You won’t be able to communicate all that you’ve learned about your topic or read all your genres—what are the most important things your audience should know/feel/do?
o This doesn’t mean that everything must be consistent; you might decide you most want your audience to hear three different perspectives on your topic.
o Try to refer to these ideas at the beginning and the end
PERFORM your presentation
o If you’re planning a slideshow, remember:
it’s not a script, it’s a partner (and you don’t deliver your partner’s lines)
oPractice reading aloud the genres you plan to share:
§ What words/phrases will you emphasize with volume, pitch, tone, pauses?
§ Where and what will you do as you deliver your presentation—stand in the back? sit in the front? gesture in character? interact with audience members?
o Keep in mind that we’ll see 22 presentations; if they all involve people reading from the front, we’ll be bored silly!
Practice your presentation
o Show your work to your family, friends, or roommates. Deliver it in front of a mirror. What moves can you make to be maximally engaging?
Have fun!
o The most engaging presentations are ones in which it’s clear the presenter enjoys it; you’ve done a lot of work, and you should be proud!
